I did this every year whilst I was at uni and graduated last year. I also come from a low income background with both parents not around, I did most of my internships during summer holidays with the money I saved up from working part time jobs.

There are apprenticeships set up by local councils as well which pay for 50% of your expenses, I didn't do anything like that but I know people who have benefited from this.

I managed it, I had to pay for my own transport and saved up to do various internships whilst working seasonal jobs at uni to pay my way. It is possible. I know it isn't easy but I am a little bit sick of hearing about self entitled people (mainly some of my friends) who think a degree is all they need whilst they're sat on complaining on facebook.

It probably has nothing to do with his degree or where he got it from. I know a lot of people who feel entitled to have a job just because they have a degree and whilst they were at uni they didn't acquire any work experience/internships to boost their employability.

There was a woman on it recently who I've never seen before and she passed every question, it was agony to watch. Before making a tit of yourself just at least do some research other than reading the Wikipedia page of your chosen subject.
